Last-minute changes are nothing new at the Monaco Yacht Show. Each year, yachts announced in advance sometimes do not arrive, whether because delivery schedules slipped, a sale closed unexpectedly, or a listing was withdrawn from the brokerage market.
The result is an already turbulent 34th edition, one that promises to feel busy on the docks but very different on the data line. This article breaks down the latest figures, highlights the impact of the missing giants, and examines how the show reflects broader movements in the superyacht market.
YachtBuyer will be monitoring the show live, updating the figures in real time, and readers can follow the latest developments on our dedicated Monaco Yacht Show 2025 events page.
Fleet Size and Composition
The 2025 fleet opens with 115 yachts, one fewer than in 2024. On paper, that small dip might seem insignificant, yet the composition tells a more complex story. The average length has slipped from 48.18 meters last year to 47.17 meters this year, and the total length on display is down from 5.59 kilometers to 5.42 kilometers.
The longest yacht expected is the 107-meter Mar, recently confirmed as the largest attendee after Breakthrough was withdrawn, compared with 123.2 meters in 2024. Perhaps most tellingly, only one yacht above 100 meters is scheduled to appear this year, down from three in the previous edition.
The Missing Giants
The absence of several headline yachts explains much of the shift in scale.

Sold earlier this year, Feadship’s 119-meter Breakthrough was originally set to be the largest yacht at Monaco, exhibiting the world’s first hydrogen fuel cell system and marking a milestone in sustainable propulsion. With 14 balconies, a semi-submerged Nemo lounge, and a glass-floored infinity pool, she would have been both a technical and visual centerpiece. Her withdrawal has reshaped the headline lineup, with Benetti’s 107-meter Mar now confirmed as the largest yacht in attendance.

The 111-meter Leviathan by Oceanco was expected to make an equally dramatic impression, with a profile that glows neon after dark and a tri-fold beach club opening onto the water. Inside, Mark Berryman Design created a contemporary layout that even features a full-height glass staircase etched with the names of more than 2,000 people who worked on the build.

Bilgin’s 80-meter Al Reem is the final and most advanced yacht in the Bilgin 263 series, designed with extended decks that add nearly 20 percent more outdoor space. Highlights include a waterfall spa pool, a touch-and-go helipad, and an interior by H2 Yacht Design styled in calm, contemporary tones.

The 55-meter Rose by Tankoa was due to mark the world debut of the Tankoa T55 Sportiva line with exterior lines by Luca Dini and interiors by Studio Lissoni. A semi-submerged Nemo Room and a sculpted beach club with a sunken pool would have made her one of the most distinctive mid-range debuts of the year, but she has now been replaced on the Monaco roster by Loewe, the second hull in the series.

Riva’s 54.84-meter Sairu carries significance as the largest yacht ever built by the Italian yard, translating its iconic styling into a four-deck aluminum flagship. The yacht features a stern beach club with a 5-meter pool and fold-out terraces, alongside interiors lined with fine marbles and teak paneling.
Age Profile and New Deliveries
While the giants step back, the fleet remains relatively young. The average age has edged up from 5.97 years to 6.23 years, but this is balanced by a rise in recent deliveries. 47 yachts launched in 2025 are now set to appear in Monaco, compared with 42 new deliveries in 2024.
In terms of debuts, the number remains steady at 79 debuts compared with 80 the previous year, suggesting that the show continues to attract a pipeline of fresh projects despite the headline withdrawals. Notable newcomers include the 79.5-meter Valor by Feadship, the 77.7-meter Amalya from Admiral Yachts, and Feadship’s refitted 76.5-meter Boardwalk, now reintroduced to the market with a $193.5 million asking price.
They are also joined by Admiral’s 72-meter After You and Benetti’s 67-meter Lady Estey, the first hull in the B.Now 67M Oasis line. Together, these yachts give Monaco 2025 a strong cast of fresh arrivals even in the absence of the largest flagships.
Brokerage Market at Monaco
The brokerage sector looks stronger than ever. 69 yachts are for sale at the show compared with 65 last year, and the total asking price has climbed from $2.3 billion in 2024 to $2.9 billion in 2025. The average asking price is also higher, rising from $34.7 million to $42.6 million. Interestingly, the average brokerage yacht is slightly shorter, at 49 meters versus 49.99 meters last year, and marginally younger, at 8.45 years compared with 8.65.
Several standout brokerage listings are shaping those numbers. At the top end, Oceanco’s 90-meter Luna is on the market for €218,000,000 (approx. $257,239,000), while the 107-meter Mar by Benetti is listed at €195,000,000 (approx. $230,099,000). Amels has a double presence with the 89-meter Here Comes The Sun, asking €165,000,000 (approx. $194,699,000), and the 77.8-meter Energy, priced at €185,000,000 (approx. $218,299,000).
Further interest is expected to come from the 65-meter Regina D’Italia by Codecasa, which is asking €54,000,000 (approx. $63,720,000), and the debut of Feadship’s 65-meter Wedge Too, returning to the brokerage market with a €45,000,000 (approx. $53,100,000) price tag.
These listings underline why total and average values have climbed so sharply. Even with fewer 100-meter-plus yachts confirmed for the show, the brokerage fleet features a concentration of high-value yachts in the 65-to-90 meter range, reinforcing Monaco’s reputation as the industry’s most significant marketplace.
What the Numbers Reveal
The figures suggest that the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show opens leaner in scale but richer in brokerage value. The withdrawal of Breakthrough and Leviathan helps explain the step down in record-breaking length, while the absence of fresh deliveries such as Al Reem, Rose, and Sairu trims the mid- to upper-range premieres. Yet the increase in brokerage value, paired with the consistent number of debuts and deliveries, indicates a market that remains confident and active even without the spectacle of multiple 100-meter-plus flagships.
The 2025 Monaco Yacht Show is set to trade super-size spectacle for substance. With fewer giants on the docks but stronger brokerage value, it reflects a market recalibrating at the very top while continuing to deliver activity and momentum in the sizes where most buyers engage.
